US EditionPentagon says it struck another suspected drug boat in Pacific, killing three
- U.S. Southern Command announced Sunday that its forces struck a vessel on Saturday in the Eastern Pacific, killing three people in the 21st such strike in recent weeks.
- The Trump administration says the strikes are part of an anti-drug offensive, framing the fight as armed conflict and citing a Justice Department opinion amid the USS Gerald R. Ford's arrival.
- U.S. Southern Command released video it said shows the strike and the boat engulfed in flames, alleging it carried narcotics along a known route and was run by a `Designated Terrorist Organization`, though NBC News has not independently confirmed this.
- After the latest announcement, critics in Congress and abroad questioned the strikes' legality as regional leaders, the U.N. human rights chief, Senator Lisa Murkowski , and Senator Rand Paul pressed for authorization; Paul said the strikes `go against all of our tradition`.
- Since September, U.S. forces have carried out a series of strikes that number at least 22 vessels, Pentagon figures say the strikes have killed more than 80 people.
